2017 Estate Shiraz, Frankland Estate

Frankland River, Great Southern, Australia

Frankland Estate is one of Australia’s most renowned and isolated wineries, established in 1988 by Judi Cullam and Barrie Smith. The winery is fully organic, and their Isolation Ridge vineyard is regarded as one of Australia’s iconic vineyard estates.

The Frankland Estate Shiraz 2017 is a sensory journey that indulges the palate with its luxurious flavour.  As you pour it into the glass, the room fills with the elevated aromas of liquorice, black cherry, scorched earth, dried meats, smoky cedar, black olives and black pepper. The palate is generously weighted with rich dark plum, liquorice and black cherry fruits, accompanied by elements of smoked meat, scorched earth, spicy cedar and pepper on the back half, creating a symphony of flavours.  The finish is long and mouthwatering.   Drink Now to 2032

Frankland Estate was established by Barrie Smith and Judi Cullam in 1988. It is located in the Frankland River district, a cool climate region about 200km inland from the South West Coast of Western Australia. The Isolation Ridge vineyard was developed on a part of a 3000-acre property in the Frankland River region on which the family has run a wool-growing enterprise since 1974.
The vineyard follows organic production techniques. As one of the most isolated viticulture regions in Western Australia with typical seasons of long dry summers and cold, wet winters, disease pressure is very low. The vines are dry farmed, which enables the regional expression and variation due to seasons to be outwardly expressed in the wine, making them individual to Frankland Estate. Low yields enable the flavours of the grapes to develop fully.
The accolades are telling: James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion 2011 rated Frankland Estate as a 5-star winery and in the top 3% of Australian wine producers, with four of its wines being rated 95 points and higher and three wines being listed in the “best of the best” by variety.

This wine was fermented as long and slowly as possible, at temperatures not exceeding 30C in open fermentation tanks that allowed the cap to be worked by plunging and gently pumping over. An extended maceration period followed completion of the ferment to allow optimal colour, flavour and tannin extraction.
